lyrics

You're a sorry one to peg: a liar, a thief, a promise you couldn't keep but I'll keep living (this is me moving on). You're the lion with its tail between its legs, a coward who lost his way. The one you couldn't sway, I walk the line alone.

I take it back; the friends I loved have turned their backs on me. I'm circling sidewalks that lead me home. I've lost control. Despite the worst you put me through, I'm still alive.

I've been trying to forgive the ones who left me for dead. I don't want to say you've wasted my time, but time is a precious thing to waste.
I've kept my mouth shut and brushed it all off. My eyes filled with dirt that has blinded me from the start.

I'm trying to hold on to empty caskets and broken lanterns. My hands seem to just let go (it's just the way the world turns). Why does it seem that these dead end dreams mean nothing more than my insecurities? My world is crashing around me and I can't believe that I'm still alive.

It's a blessing in disguise that the ones who casted me out were the ones who taught me more about myself than any book or story could ever do. Despite the worst you put me through, I am still alive.

Time to pack up and leave, I've gotten what I need: a bag full of memories and lessons that will keep me satisfied. If you ever need someone to turn to despite the worst, you can count on me.
